Jul. 14, 2008 - Bosch Invests More than $500,000 to Expand Training Resources for Customers

FAIRPORT, N.Y. – Bosch Security Systems, Inc., a full-line manufacturer of high-quality security solutions, announced today it has invested more than $500,000 over the last year to bolster its training offerings for customers. With new training centers, more in-depth classroom courses and a greater range of eLearning offerings, Bosch is helping to support and educate dealers and integrators as the market shifts toward greater adoption of IP security solutions.

This month, the company opened a training center in Ontario, California, near Los Angeles, increasing the number of Bosch training facilities to five nationwide. Upcoming courses at the Ontario center will focus on IP video cameras and encoders and on Bosch’s G Series Control Panel. Additional training centers in the South and Southeast regions of the U.S. are planned to open later this year.

The expanded classroom training portfolio places greater emphasis on IP systems. These comprehensive courses include product demonstrations, configurations, hardware installation, software overviews and troubleshooting tips. Upon completion of the courses, attendees will be able to perform complete end-to-end installations of Bosch’s video over IP equipment. In addition to classroom training, new self-paced, eLearning courses on the G Series Control Panels, Divar MR Digital Video Recorders, as well as on Extreme CCTV license plate capture and active-infrared technology are also available and can be completed in sections whenever it is most convenient for the participant. The online courses are designed to help technicians and sales personnel become familiar with Bosch technology without the expense of travel and time away from billable client activities.

“Security technology is evolving quickly with the continued development of IP solutions, and dealers and integrators must keep pace with these advancements to meet the demands of end users today,” said Jim Musshafen, Director, Customer Solutions Support for Bosch Security Systems, Inc. “The expanded training program is designed to help our customers recommend, design, install and support reliable security solutions. Their success is a critical factor in sustaining our leadership in the market, and we will continue to make investments in this area.”
